  2. Engineering Team Support for Roadmap mission studies Study schedules support the Roadmap schedule Engineering team Goals Complete innovative mission conceptual designs proposed by mission advocates Support the SSSC Roadmap Committee via the mission advocates Ensure realistic mission cost estimates Identify and incorporate new enabling technologies Mission Advocate’s Role Technology Role Critical to quality mission design Focal point for mission (and liason to Roadmap Committee) Frequent interaction with engineering team is essential -Ensures that the engineering team captures the science objectives correctly -Can create insights that result in innovative and creative alternative concepts • Mission characteristics that drive technology and cost • -High data rate instruments (drive power and communication • -Complex orbits requiring intensive real-time operations • -Interplanetary orbits requiring nuclear power • -Formation flying • Technology enables missions • -Advanced power, communications and propulsion technologies can enable missions not previously possible

  3. Launch vehicle Selection Mission timeline and operations Roadmap study process and outputs Study process Sample instrument summary Roadmap Committee Selection Science team Preliminary concept report to committee (redirection as necessary) Refine Science Objectives Identify Mission advocate Note: frequent interaction between the science and engineering teams is critical to quality mission design Define Payload Engineering Team Orbit Design Spacecraft Conceptual Design Complete mission design Study duration Other outputs - Mission conceptual design - Mission Quad charts - Technical options, enhancements and significant trades - Issues and cost drivers
